Akelarre (witchcraft)

Akelarre is a spooky thing that some people used to do a long time ago in places called Basque Country. It's like a special meeting where a group of witches get together and do magical things. They might have fires outside and dance around, wearing clothes that look strange and talking in a secret language. They might make potions or cast spells, which are like wishes that they hope will come true. Some people thought that this was very bad and wanted to stop it, but other people thought it was just a fun thing that didn't hurt anyone. Nowadays, not many people do akelarre anymore, but some people still like to learn about it and imagine what it was like.
